InterPlay is an active, creative way to unlock the wisdom of the body. Personal story-telling is one of InterPlay's key forms. InterPlayful story-telling strengthens our ability to speak truthfully and artfully when and where we want. The more we tell the more we understand that the way we speak and what we tell is our life and our art! This is a blessing.
Come learn tools for little and big embodied "tellings." Practice the mundane and the wild, with plenty of room to talk plain, to sing, dance, hum, speak in other languages, and who knows what. Explore the intersection of communal and individual stories in a dedicated space where truth glistens and teller and listener both find surprise and insight.
Working on a project or performance piece? Have some writing that you want to explore in an embodied way? This could be a great space for you.
